We still haven't dealt with the question of what it means to be a prisoner of war in the war on terror, how that relates to our judicial system, how that relates to the Geneva convention, etc. We have a new paradigm but the administration hasn't articulated it definitively. "We" are not going to have much say in the matter. The courts have given the prisoners at Guantanamo access to the US courts and that's going to be the forum for resolution of all questions. Just as the SCOTUS had the final say on internment of the Japanese during WWII. JMHO. BTW, I strongly recommend "Fog of War", the documentary about Robert MacNamara, for insight into how ambivalence in high office can lead to events spinning out of control.
